  • Title: [Cardiac rhythm disorders in patients with hypertrophic cardio- myopathy detected by ECG monitoring by the Holter method].
    Author: Borowiecka E, Dabrowski M, Rydlewska-Sadowska W, Michalak E, Ruzyłło W.
    Journal: Kardiol Pol; 1989; 32(2):66-72. PubMed ID: 2482380.
    Abstract:
    24-hours Holter's ecg monitoring was performed in 79 patients with the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Ventricular arrhythmias were recorded in 75.9% of patients, including those revealed in the second recording in 29.5% of patients. Subsequent ecg monitoring was especially useful in detection of complex forms of ventricular arrhythmias (in 27.5%). Average doses of verapamil and Beta-adrenergic blockers were not sufficient in the antiarrhythmic therapy. There was no close correlation between ventricular arrhythmias and a morphologic type of a cardiomyopathy. Patients with episodes of fainting or loss of consciousness require repeated Holter's ecg monitorings.
